This. I told someone the other day that I’m such a gear ho/poor financial decision maker that I generally won’t let money hold me back from having what I perceive to be the absolute best on my primary hunting and competition rifles, and my two primary hunting rifles wear RS1.2’s. Nothing else comes close for a FFP/MIL hunting scope, at any price level.
I’ve had a couple NX8’s and while glass is debatable I don’t really care about glass in a rifle scope once it has reached competency level, which the Maven is well above, it’s been proven through testing here to be as durable as the NF, and the eyebox (read:: user friendliness in the field) and reticle absolutely curb stomp the NX8 for hunting.
